Absolutely correct. We need to revolt against the Republican Party. “Conservative” should mean “conserve the constitution.” We need to reshape the platform to focus on reigning in the federal government to its constitutional powers. Magic Fingers has a good point about eliminating some of the anti-depravity issues from the platform. I am a born-again Christian, but I will happily vote for any candidate that will defend the Constitution against all foreign and domestic enemies. The Democrats toss out these wedge issues on abortion, homosexuality, etc., to drive people away from Republicans. Be real - How much power does the President have to determine whether an anti-abortion bill has an exception for rape or incest? If the legislators legislated and the judges adjudicated and the president administrated based upon the Enumerated Powers, our federal tax burden would drop below our state taxes
We need to focus on fixing the GOP. After re-electing Obama, can't the majority of Republicans be convinced that being Democrat-lite and playing on their playground do not work. While the Democrats can't be honest about what they stand for and where they want to take the country, we can be because our position is morally and constitutionally sound. Unfortunately, it is difficult to explain why Robinhood was wrong, but it is about time we forced the GOP to try to articulate why it is immoral and unconstitutional for the federal government to be Robinhood.
Just a few moments ago, I heard a radio talk show host claim that if only Romney had been more forceful on the moral issues of abortion and gay marriage, he would have won.
Both cannot be right. This is why we must acknowledge we have our differences within our family but we are united to rid our country of this cancer called liberalism.
I do not care what name we want to put on our party--it doesn't matter. What matters is our mutual determination to save our country. I fear it is too late. We had too many stay home because Romney did not satisfy them. I just heard this same radio talk show host ask why should those who stood in line for hours waiting for a Chic-fil-A go to the polls and vote for Romney.
For me that's easy--because the alternative was so much worse. For all those who stayed home or voted "third party", what is your plan to save our nation?
